Sweet Love

I often find that pure love hides in sweet moments that are made. As when a child, my grandma braids my wispy hair around my small head, just like hers. Her Scandinavian roots high cheek bones, and stocky build are worn with age. I look up into her faded, blue eyes as she smiles at me. I remind her of the days of her youth. She laughs, a lilting laugh of joy. I feel happy as I fall into her ample bosom and we lovingly embrace. Written on 7/24/2015

Enjoyable, wonderful poem on love and time. I embrace the feelings and high mood and game of mirror in which we sometimes look.

I felt so nostalgic after reading this lovely piece and remembering how I was cherished by own grandmothers. I miss that and I wish all children could experience this very special sweet love! Congratulations, my friend on a wonderful, well-deserved win! Pandita

What a wonderful mental tableau. Tender times between sympathetic generations are so valuable. For the elder transportation to a happy place and for the younger the creation of one. Nice write. Kind regards, Ian
